[Simon]

Damn Raiders, knew it was a poor option expecting them to win three in a row.

 

[NUFAN]

Yep real tough this weekend. Might wait until after Origin.

 

[morgieb]

Parramatta's the only real option now i've used Melbourne and are unconfident about the others.

 

[Burgey]

Yep real tough this weekend. Might wait until after Origin.

Me too.

 

[NUFAN]

Slightly dangerous picking against the Titans at home, but I'm going to go for Manly, cause they are pretty much at full strength and the Titans will miss Bailey/Prince/Harrison heaps.

 

[morgieb]

Parramatta's the only real option now i've used Melbourne and are unconfident about the others.

Changing to Manly because I'm sort of unconfident about the Parra v Penrith game.

 

[Burgey]

No point all 3 of us going Manly, so I'll go Dragons.

 

[NUFAN]

Soft Morgie...

 

[Prince EWS]

Yep real tough this weekend. Might wait until after Origin.

Soft NUFAN.

 

[NUFAN]

Soft NUFAN.

Ah that's it I'm changing my tip to Newcastle so either myself or Burgey are gooone.

[Prince EWS]

It's strange that I've done so well in my tipping comp this year and yet been bundled out first round every time in LMS. If I thought to join it I'd be winning the CW NRL thread tipping comp by a fair margin, yet my most confident tip often seems to be wrong.

Having similar issues. Currently leading the CW tipping but have had two first-ballers in the last two rounds of LMS & think I lasted all of two rounds the time before...

 

[NUFAN]

Haha spewing I changed my tips to Newcastle.

I'd be leading the tipping by a bit too Prince, I thought maybe the tipping started a week late or something.

Yeah could have. I was on 81 at the end of Round 16 but I'm ranked 62nd out of 24,000 or something in the Sportsbet comp so I thought I might have just got a lead. I'm having a pretty good tipping year, especially compared to last year where I was awful. I won more money last year though, strangely enough.

 

[Burgey]

Roosters

 

[Burgey]

And gone.

 

[morgieb]

Broncos. Sorry I was late.

 

[BoyBrumby]

It's a tie-game so we have joint winners. Neither the Roosters or the Broncs get up so Burgey & morgieb share the pennant. Congrats to both.

&, of course, we all get to go again next week. Could a mod do the honours with the thread title, please?

Fixtrues:

Sea Eagles vs Eels
Cowboys vs Broncos
Titans vs Panthers
Sharks vs Knights
Bulldogs vs Warriors
Raiders vs Roosters
Rabbitohs vs Tigers
Storm vs Dragons
